On April 20, 2022, as part of the program to inform the population, R.V. Reshetnikov, a paratrooper-firefighter of the Ust-Kamenogorsk aviation department, held a conversation on the topic on the territory of the KEREMET store adjacent to the Komsomolsk forestry: "Safety precautions for extinguishing forest fires". During the conversation, leaflets on fire prevention propaganda were distributed to the audience. On the same day, in order to carry out fire prevention, a banner was installed on the store building.

For the purpose of landscaping and landscaping of the territory of the aviation department, the personnel of the Karkaraly aviation department planted sea buckthorn seedlings in the amount of 25 pieces.

Sea buckthorn is a genus of plants in the Lochaceae family. These are shrubs or trees, usually prickly, from 0.1 to 3 m high (less often up to 6-15 m). The leaves of sea buckthorn are narrow, long, green with fine speckles on top and silvery or grayish-white (rarely golden) on the bottom. The same-sex small, nondescript flowers appear before the leaves. The fruit of sea buckthorn is a berry of bright orange color, spherical or more often elongated. The berries are densely located on the branch, clinging to it (hence the Russian name of this plant).

Sea buckthorn is mentioned in ancient manuscripts of healers of Mongolia and Tibet, where it is described as a universal medicine. However, the plant is known not only in Ancient Asia. Its pollen was found in excavations of settlements in Scandinavia. In ancient Greece, sea buckthorn shoots were fed to sick and injured horses, speeding up their recovery. In the Middle Ages, the medicinal properties of sea buckthorn were forgotten and until the XIX century it was destroyed everywhere as a useless shrub. In the last few hundred years, interest in sea buckthorn has recovered and as a result, the plant has begun to be cultivated. Sea buckthorn contains a whole "bouquet" of vitamins, trace elements and organic acids, which are widely used for the treatment and prevention of many diseases. Sea buckthorn oil, a product obtained from red fruits, is considered a unique multivitamin preparation. It promotes rapid wound healing, relieves pain and has a bactericidal property. It can be used both externally and internally.
Sea buckthorn juice is used to treat cough. To do this, it is mixed with honey, and then consumed. Inhalations with sea buckthorn oil are a recognized means of preventing the respiratory tract.

On April 19, 2022, specialists of the Pavlodar aviation department, together with representatives of the operational group of the Service for the Protection of Natural Complexes and objects, flew over the protected area in order to monitor compliance with the rules of nature management and identify violations of environmental legislation. No violations of environmental legislation were detected during the air patrol.

On April 19, 2022, the specialists of the Barnaul aviation department, together with representatives of the Bayanaul GNPP, flew over the protected area. During the air patrol, radio communication with forestry departments, observation towers, and numbering of cordons were checked. An inspection of the condition of fire-fighting roads and mineralized strips serving as barriers from the spread of possible grass-roots fires and reference lines for the localization of active foci was carried out.

The Eurocopter EC 145 is a multi-purpose helicopter created by the Franco-German concern Eurocopter. The helicopter was created on the basis of the Eurocopter/Kawasaki VK 117 C-1 model and originally bore the designation VK 117C-2. The new helicopter has a more spacious cabin and a larger take-off weight. The forward part of the fuselage was designed anew (taking into account developments in EU 135), which allowed to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve visibility for the crew. The distinctive features of the helicopter are a rotor with an optimized profile and an updated avionics. The EU 145, unlike the EU 135, has retained the classic single-screw scheme. Despite the initial plans to equip the EU 145 with a fenestrone tail rotor, the designers of the Eurocopter, after a series of experiments and analysis of the experience of developing and operating the AS 365, abandoned this idea, considering the classic propeller safe enough for a helicopter with a take-off weight of over 3.5 tons. The new machine made its first flight in 1999 and at the end of the same year received the designation EC145 (but the designation VK 117 S-2 is often used). The equipment and technical characteristics of the helicopter make it possible to use it in forestry – to extinguish forest fires. This helicopter is capable of delivering up to 9 paratroopers-firefighters and 300 kg of cargo and fire extinguishing equipment to the fire site, as well as up to a ton of water on an external suspension.
